I'm trying to get a suitable picture for our Facebook page, Farm name = Fall View…..

Well, I'll put my two cents in as we all know the value of free advice....I'd go with #3 and the reason is if you intend to put text over top of the pic, it will go nicely of the right hand side....in pic two, the background would be too busy to put text over...I also like that #3 is telephotoed and the background goes blurry .....

Got a small surprise today, Mama took the babies outside today....what surprised me was that my other BO hoped into the nesting box(mama's box) to lay an egg. I had about 30 seconds of "where did the babies go"...go figure.....

Awww stake, your chicks are so cute. I think 2 hours away would be a drive to get chicks. This is my first time hatching silkies, just got my rooster a few momths ago. I wouldn't care what kind of chicks I got if I need nthem for my little silkie. Momma is with her but not sure if she will thrive as an only chick.

When will you be this way for feed again? I am more than willing to part with one or two of the new chicks if it'll be in the next couple days.

Got some more hehehe. Peanut abandoned her two (and hopped right onto a nest with only one egg in it) so I gave them to the other two girls.

Hard to see but one had just hatched (right above the word "just")

The black one is from one of our FBCM girls and has feathered shanks, might even be pure

So far one has died (umbilical wasn't detached or absorbed) and 5 more have hatched with 3 more externally pipped or zipped.

If it's for a profile pic I would go with the third, if it's for the banner I would go with the other maple.

I am getting chick envy! They are so cute! The neighbor took a bunch of eggs from me (mostly BCM) to hatch. She says they are due in a week. I want them to hatch, but I don't. They will not be well cared for, but I was tired of telling her no to any of my flock or hatching eggs. These were eggs from when my flock was wormed. They were just laying there on the ground, and she asked if she could incubate them. Now I have to stay strong when/if she shows me the new babies. Cute. Adorable. Gotta Haveable. Babies. Must-not-incubate!

I am letting my broodies in the bantam chocolate Orp pen have all the eggs being laid in there. Well... for now. Until they can't cover them. I am actually hoping everyone in there goes broody. That way I have a pen full of broodies and no eggs to worry about collecting at all for at least 2 months.
